Jack, that case you referred to was indeed very sad and disgraceful.

My husband's application for a Marriage Visa took place while Labour was in power. And the Home Office made a very basic but awful administrative mistake and refused him entry into the UK, resulting in an Appeal.

I had to go down to the Court in London, and it all cost me £1,400. The judge decided it had been 'an obvious error' and awarded the Visa.

The Representative of the Home Office who was present at the Appeal fell asleep during the proceedings, and when asked if she had anything to say, yawned hugely and said, "Nah!" This didn't impress me much...

He is safe as houses now, as he achieved Leave to Remain, Further Leave to Remain, Indefinite Leave to Remain (Settlement), British Citizenship and a UK passport.
